The P245 has a gap between the butt of the pistol and the magazine's floorplate. During recoil, that gap has a tendency to pinch and cut your hand. I was bleeding after 100 rounds fired.
Eh?
I've been bitten (HARD!) by Desert Eagles, had the web in between thumb and index finger chewed up by the standard grip safety on 1911s, and cut my fingers on some really sharp checkering, but I've
never been pinched, torn, grabbed, or otherwise injured by a SIG.
And I don't know what gap you're referring to, either [looks at his 245] -- mine's got a small gap in the front (about where my pinkie curves around the front of the grip) and one on the bottom (where my palm can't reach). The backside of the grip (would be the backstrap on a 1911) curves down and under and meets up with the back of the butt plate on the magazine, but the sides of the grips completely cover the sides of the magazine butt plate.
I'm at a loss to figure out how you could have been pinched, much less drawn blood... more info please?
Since the P245 is unbalanced, felt recoil is pronounced.
Never fired the glock, but felt recoil from the 245 is less than on my 1911 compact (medium spring + ShokBuf).
I personally don't like glocks -- they don't point as naturally (for me) as a 1911 or a SIG, and I hate trigger safeties.
To cocojo:
I'd strongly recommend firing (as in, a box of live ammo) through one of each before making a final decision -- these things are mostly subjective, and if it doesn't feel good in
your hand, you'll never shoot it as well as you'd like.
